ANYTHING GOES

Here are details of this challenge's wonderful sponsor...

Di's Digi Stamps

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many
years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was
always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a
cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter
preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this
then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people. I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find
what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I
love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and
make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!
